With soldier-like directness General Dawes literally hurled himself into the campaign in his speech at Evanston Tuesday night accepting the Republican vice-presidential nomination. He hit direct from the shoulder and left nothing to the imagination as to how he stands on the various big issues of the day.

He described the contest as one between "progressive conservatism" and "untried and dangerous radicalism" and used no veiled phrases in telling what he thought of the La Follette candidacy. The progressive conservative position is that represented by President Coolidge; the dangerously radical stand is exemplified by the La Follette independent candidacy and between stands the Democratic party, one conservative and one radical candidate, hoping to get votes by avoiding the issue," General Dawes said. He denounced the La Follette boom as a menace to the United States and contended that "a formidable attack had been launched on the fundamental principles of the constitution." The question of whether the constitution is to stand or whether i it is to be tossed into the discard is the predominant issue of the campaign, General Dawes said, and he let it be known that he stands ready to defend the principles our people have struggled to establish and maintain through the Revolution, the Civil War and the World conflict. "Neither President Coolidge nor his party platform assumes that the constitution is a worn-out document of old-fashioned ideas, to be discarded for the principles of the new Socialism," the presidential candidate said. But, on the other hand, said General Dawes, La Follette, "'leading the army of extreme radicalism, has a platform demanding public ownership of railroads and attacking our courts, which are a fundamental and constitutional safeguard of American citizenship." La Follette and his band ask the people to follow them into what? General Dawes asked, and answered his question thus: "Into confusion and conflict of ideas and ideals and into the reopening of war upon those fundamental principles of human liberty and the inalienable rights of men which are giving in this country safety and opportunity to the humblest, and to establish which the blood of our forefathers was The World Court issue was clearly and concisely stated by General Dawes, who explained the Republican party's stand on it in terms that all can understand.

In fact the speech throughout was made up of clear-cut phrases, couched in nonpolitical terms. It is a challenge to the Democrats and the La Follette independents that both parties will find difficult to answer. Both Mr. Davis and Mr. La Follette realize now, if they did not before General Dawes spoke, that the Republican vice-presidential candidate is a big factor to be reckoned with in the coming campaign.

Debt is a bottomless Advertising Religion. In Japan they are advertising the Christian religion and find it a paying investment. This is the judgmet of Dr. A. R.

Bartholomew, secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the Reformed Church. Through one of the missionaries, the Rev. Albertus Peters, the work has been going on for the last eight years, and a report lately submitted proves that it pays. Rev. Mr.

Peters says: "Reduced to its common denominator our business as missionaries is first to tell the people of non-Christian lands of something they do not know, to convince them of something they do not believe and to arouse them into a desire for something they do not possess. That is the essence of advertising and as advertising is our business, it cannot be denied that the newspapers afford the most practical, economical and efficient agency for the accomplishment of our purpose." For years there has been a division of sentiment in the various religious bodies of this country. The more conservative ones have held that the Gospel is a leaven and that it will leaven the whole social system in an unheralded way. Others have felt that the Church has been too conservative, and that the sooner she proclaims her wares, the better for the coming Kingdom. The effect of this advertising campaign will be watched with a good deal of interest by all religious denominations.

To the laymen it seems good business to advertise. If there is a "business of the King' that occupies SO large a number of the best minds of every community, then there ought to be no hesitancy in letting the whole community know of it. This does not mean advertising of the cruder sort. One can safely trust the good judgment of clergymen of all denominations to do this kind of work discreetly. It ought, however, as Rev.

Mr. Peters says, be the business of all branches of the Christian Church. The greater the emphasis on the common essentials, the finer and larger will be the results. Churches do have an appeal that is needed in our day, and they should see the wisdom of frankly announcing it. If advertising pays in far-off Japan, it will pay here.

Human nature is largely the same the world over. A clever advertisement followed up by an appealing service will go a long way to fill the churches. Two pugilists, a rum ship, and a Follies divorcee in the head lines proves that notoriety has not gone on a vacation. State Planting Trees. Pennsylvania ranks first among all 'the states of the Union in tree planting this year, a special effort being made to keep the state's wooded area from growing smaller as the demand for lumber increases.

In Lancaster county according to figures compiled by the State Department of Forests and Water, 149,120 have been set out this year and in trees York county a total of 150,040 were There were 8.041,025, set out planted. throughout the state this spring. the report states. A still larger number would have been planted this spring, the authorities say, if the nurseries had been able to supply all the demands. But Secretary Stuart, who is in charge of the work, is much pleased with the progress made.

Pennsylvania can be justly proud of her forests, some of which are as beautiful as any in the United States. It is gratifying to note that State officials not only making every effort to preserve the are present wooded areas, but that they are striving to add new forest zones in order this state among the leaders in to keep land acreage, which is one of its timber many assets. Now that all the candidates have had their say, the fireworks will begin in earnest. Mr. Dawes' speech leaves no room for doubt; this will be a real, grown man's campaign.

There are enough issues for every one and the flow of oratory is sure to be of the spicy variety. START PAVING NOW. (From the Utica Observer-Dispatch.) Hell is paved with good intentions! An old saw, but a half truth. The same material makes good paving for heaven as well as hell. That is to say, good intentions are impersonal things.

They will take you either way. It is up to you. The best of road-making materials are of no especial value in the warehouse. It is only when they are skillfully and honestly put down that smoothness and speed are made possible. Good intentions, reinforced with brains and courage, make a royal road to happiness.

Pave now! Pick out today one real and worthwhile deed that needs doing and go to it. Procrastination is like a road mender who simply fills in the ruts with a little crushed stone or applies tar to a threadbare surface. The essential deformity of his action comes up to haunt him again on the morrow, and the morrow after that. Start from the foundations up. Have good drainage, deep bedding and an honest surface.

Or, in other words, honesty, cheerfulness and a real desire to serve. Heaven is paved with good Intentions. Start paving now. The Conestogo Waggon The other day a good friend of ours was kind enough to present us with book-entitled, "Sketches of a Tour to the Western Country," commenced at Philadelphia in the winter of 1807 and concluded in Pittsburgh 1810. In view of the fact that the writer of this sketch or series of sketches headed out the Lancaster Pike on the first leg of his journey, we believe it would be of much interest to readers of the Wagon if we set down his comments exactly as written, therefore for the next few evenings you can look for generous installments together with such comments as we feel called upon to make.

"There is a turnpike road of sixtysix miles from Philadelphia to Lancaster, which my waggoner left at Downingstown about half way, keeping to the right along a new road, which is also intended for a turnpike road to Harrisburgh, and which passes through New Holland, where he had some goods to deliver. Downingstown is a village of about fifty middling houses. The east branch of Brandywine creek crosses the road here, as the west branch does about eight miles further.These two branches unite twelve or fourteen miles below, and fall into the Delaware near Wilmington, about twenty miles below their junction. The Brandywine is noted for a battle fought on its banks near its confluence with the Delaware, between the British army under Sir William Howe and the American under General Washington, who endeavored to oppose the progress of the enemy to Philadelphia, from the head of Chesapeak bay where they had landed. The conflict was obstinate, but the British being in great force, the Americans were obliged to retreat, after heavy loss on both sides.

"The Brandywine runs through a rich and well settled country, and abounds with mills, where a vast quantity of flour is manufactured for exportation. Pequea creek which falls into the Susquehanna, crosses the road about four miles from the west branch of the Brandywine. Five miles further accompanying my waggonner, I turned to the left from the Harrisburgh turnpike road, and in six miles more came to New Holland, which is a long stragling town of one hundred and fifty houses in one street, from whence it is seven miles to Conestoga creek. From the hill just above, I was struck with the romantick situation of a fine bridge over the creek below, more particularly as I came upon it unexpectedly. The creek is about eighty yards wide, tumbling its rapid current, over an irregular rocky bottom and disappearing round the foot of a wooded hill, almost as soon as seen.

The man who built the bridge lives on the opposite side. The toll not answering his expectations, he would have been great sufferer, had not the state taken off his hands and reimbursed his expenses; since when, the toll has been taken off. It is five miles from this to Lancaster. "The face of the country between Philadelphia and Lancaster is hilly, and variegated with woods and cultivated farms. It is extremely well inhabited and consists of almost every variety of soil, from sandy and light, to a rich black mould, which last quality is observable generally between New Holland and Lancaster, except on the heights on each bank of the Conestoga.

The first settlers of all this tract were English, Irish, and German, but- the latter have gradually purchased from the others, and have got the best lands generally into their possession. They are frugal and industrious, are good farmers, and consequently a wealthy people." c. w. d. 10 AND 25 YEARS AGO AUGUST 20, 1914.

"YET THEY CALL ME A HARD HITTER!" It was down at the far end of a stope in a Cripple Creek gold mine. Three drill men were working in the dim light.

Roosevelt moved up close to the crew. There were two hammermen and one man holding the drill. Roosevelt stood there riveted to the spot. He had left the rest of his party far behind, says the mining engineer J. S.

Miller, of Colorado Springs, who, with R. A. Trevarthen, operating manager of the Portland Mine, was conducting the President through the workings. This trip to a gold mine and survey of the Cripple Creek district had been arranged by the entertainment committee in charge of the Roosevelt Reception in Colorado, during the Presidential tour of the West in 1903. They had selected the star mine of the region to show the President.

The Portland Mine was at that period the largest and best equipped property of the district, and was using the latest methods of mining with machinery. The Committee planned to go below and explore only those underground workings easiest of access, inspect the special show points, the machinery, and certain of the large bodies of gold-bearing ores, without getting grimy about it--and then bring Roosevelt and themselves right back on top. Everybody put on miners' togs, stepped into the cage, and dropped down the shaft thousands of feet. "Bully experience!" said Roosevelt as they reached the landing station. It did not take the party long to see the Portland's "front parlor," and then they were quite ready to go back on top.

Not so with the President. "This is all wonderful," said he, "and very interesting indeed, but, Trevarthen! Trevarthen, I'm disappointed! I'd hoped to see something of the older methods of the man of the brawny muscles wielding the hammer." "You can see it, Mr. Roosevelt," returned the Cornish engineer "if you want to see it, for we also have that class of mining here. But Mr. Roosevelt, it is in a part of the mine difficult of access.

We would have to go up into the sinnes through mill holes by means of ladders and you would find it rather a dirty place." "Who cares about the dirt?" said Roosevelt, "let's go!" Trevarthen, forgetting now all his tips from the Committee, led Roosevelt the path that Cornishmen had taken eight hundred years and more. From the tenderfoot's point of business! Although Theodore Roosevelt, American, was city born and city bred, yet here alone of his crowd he was, just like a Cornishman, belly-flat in the mill holes, wrenching between sharp jutting ore and jagged rocks, under rotting timbers in the pitch dark, wriggling up jig-saw ladders -eating Rocky Mountain grit-a sight to make a Cornishman feel proud and speak out of the depths of his soul, "My brother!" An hour's tough rough going and they reached the place Trevarthen had in mind. There they stood a space, getting breath and looking at the crew of drill men working in the dim light at the far end of the stope. Said Trevarthen: "That crew have won more first prizes in drilling contests than any other crew in this part of the Rocky Mountain region." Roosevelt moved up closer still and oblivious to everything kept watching the men. Several minutes went by.

Then Trevarthen approached the crew: "Boys," he said, "you've been especially honored today by giving an exhibition of your work without knowing that you were doing so, having for an observer, the President of the United States. Come out here and shake hands with Mr. Roosevelt!" The hammersmen threw down their double-jacks, the drill holder quit his drill and Roosevelt took their hands in a hearty grasp. Holding the hand of one big brawny young fellow as if he were a new found friend Roosevelt said: "You don't look like a laboring look more like a college graduate." The young hammersman returned his friendly eyes: "Mr. Roosevelt," he said "I graduated at Colorado College, then went to the School of Mines at Golden, Colorado and graduated there as a mining engineer.

After that I came up here to get some practical experience in the mining game." Mr. Roosevelt still holding his hands, slapped him on the shoulder: "That's the very stuff that makes us Americans really a great people." he said. "We are ready and willing to climb from the bottom to the very top and then if needs be go back down at the bottom and climb again to the top in another way." Then, turning to the drill-holder, who was an Irishman, Rosevelt said, "Would you be afraid to hold the drill for me to strike it?" "No, Mr. Roosevelt!" the Irishman replied, "I would not be afraid sir. Shure and I would be proud, sir, to hold the drill for you to strike it." "But if I should miss the drill," said Roosevelt, "I might hurt you." "No, Mr.

Roosevelt," the Irishman chuckled, "You could not hit hard enough to hurt me, sir." At this Roosevelt burst into laughter: "Yet down at Washington," he said "they call me a hard hitter!" "Then, to the surprise of the entire group," Mr. Miller says, "Mr. Roosevelt took off his coat, picked up one of the heavy double-jacks, grasping its longhandle like an expert, and stepped into the young college man's place, as the Irishman took hold of the drill again. "With a full body swing that no ama- BE CAREFUL OF WATER Be careful of the water you drink on been prevalent in several regions already your week-end or vacation trips during the summer months!

Reproduction Prohibited. WHAT ARE WOMEN THINKING ABOUT THE INCREASE OF CHILD LABOR. By GRACE ABBOTT. Chief U. S.

'Children's Bureau, U. S. Department of Labor. Federal cooperation with the States is necessary to wipe out the evils of child labor in the United States. After nearly a century of state legislation on child labor, the Census of 1920 showed more than 1,000,000 children between ten and sixteen years of age gainfully employed in the United States.

Nearly 400,000 of the children were between 10 and 14. No one would deny that such children should be in school instead of at work. Child labor is, even today, increasing. Since 1920, the last Census year, the U. S.

Children's Bureau has gathered statistics from 34 cities in 18 states, and District of Columbia, having a total population of approximately 17,000,000. With the industrial depression which came shortly after 1920 the number of children employed, so far as that is shown through the issuing of first work permits, decreased and it was hoped that this decrease would be permanent. The last two years, however, have shown a definite increase. Last year the total number of first work permits issued to children under 16 in these 34 cities was 90,166 as compared with 75,686 in 1922. In 19 of the cities the increase was at least 20 per in 8 cities the increase was over 50 per cent.

These were the children legally employed; it is impossible to state how many were working illegally. The children's amendment passed by Congress and now before the States for ratification would permit our National Government to work with the States in protecting children from exploitation. It would enable Congress to legislate but the amendment itself contains no regulation or prohibition. Such action by the National Government would not be an experiment. Two child-labor laws were passed by Congress and were in effect for nearly four years before being declared unconstitutional.

During that time state officials testified that the Federal enforcing machinery helped their work in the states and did not discourage state initiative in the care of children. Neither would the children's amendment pave the way for the establishment of more Federal bureas and "a new army of office-holders." The first Federal childlabor law was administered by the Children's Bureau through a staff of 51 persons--not a very large army. The cost during its nine months' operation was approximately 11 cents for each of the million child workers the census shows. The great expansion in the National government in the last decade has been to promote Banking, Commerce and Agriclture, millions are expended for these purposes. Should the women be timid about asking reasonable expenditures for children? After all, this is not a question of States' rights versus, National rights, nor of partisan politics, but of cooperation to secure children's rights.

-STEPHEN HANNANGAN. WRANGEL'S ARMY, 30,000 STRONG, WATCHFULLY WAITS IN THE BALKANS. A. Loukomsky, former Russian Army General, in August Current History Magazine. In Yugoslavia and Bulgaria there is a well-organized remnants of the Russian Army which fought the Bolsheviki in South Russia; the head of this unit, which clings to its old identity as the Russian Army, is its Commander-inChief, General Wrangel, with a small staff.

This army, numbering about 30,000 men, is divided into two corps, which in turn are subdivided into divisions and regiments. Numerically, these regiments are far from complete milltary units, and serve merely as skeleton formations, which could, in case of need, be complemented to full war strength. Indeed, the organization is not an army in the ordinary sense; that is to say, it has no regular regiments, batteries and squadrons composed of men dressed in the same uniforms and equipped with arms. About this army, however, there remains that imponderable and invisible something which goes to make the soul of a great fighting machine, and this has not been destroyed. The officers, soldiers and Cossacks who compose this army are scattered through Serbia and Bulgaria, working in small separate groups, as well as large units, on road building, railway construction, lumberand in the mines.

They all live in the hope that Russia will not perish and that they will yet have the good fortune to serve their country. this summer.
